To Make You Happy Ch. 5
Hey guys! Please keep review I love this story so much….
I don't own the characters Craig McCracken does! :D
Ace's POV:
"No!" I heard someone yelling from a distance, and jolted awake…
"whoa" I groaned sitting up and seeing the scene around me spin I closed my eyes, and rubbed my temples, and feeling a deep cut just above my eye.
I looked at my hand to see if it was bleeding, but under the red of the blood on my hands was a light apricot color…
I bent my fingers for some reason, I guess to make sure they were mine.
I pulled up the tattered sleeve of my shirt and the same color covered my arms, wrists, and elbows.
I took my time, standing up and looking around at where I was I was in the back alley of the store that was more than two blocks away from where I had blacked out at the dump…
I found a broken mirror, next to the dumpster and carefully bent down over it.
I gasped at what I saw, my was the same color as my hands.
Was that really me ?
I slowly put my hand up to my face and watched my changing expressions.
"It worked" Was all I said before I heard coughing from under a pile of debris
"Snake?" I asked as I saw someone sit up.
He squinted and his eyes grew when he saw me…
"Bossss? You…"
"You too…"
We heard more rustling and Arturo and Billy looked out from under the debris next to Snake..
"Billy's Head hurts" Billy said looking at me with his now two big blue eyes under a mess of orange hair…
"Ay Chihuahua! It worked" Arturo said smiling
He was about a foot taller, and Billy was actually a little skinnier….
"Where's Grubber?" I asked looking around
I heard rustling in the dumpster and turned to see a very nervous kid peeking from over edge.
He jumped out and looked at all of us and smiled….
"Now, that that's settled, let's go find Buttercup" I said walking to the end of the alley.
"Boss, what about our clothes?" Arturo asked
I looked down to see my tattered shirt, and jeans covered in ash.
I peered around the corner, and saw charity truck, collecting toys and clothes for Christmas…
"Hey, Bob that's lunch lock it up, and let's go!" One of the workers yelled to the other…
I waited until the two guys had gone to a diner across the street, and signaled the boys to follow me.
We snuck around the back of the store, and to the side of the truck.
Arturo picked the lock, and Snake and I snuck in grabbing two boxes labeled 'Clothes' and tossed them to Billy.
We all ran back to the alley, and got dressed in some old t-shirts and jeans we found.
As we sat in the alley contemplating our next moves we I overheard a news story from the t.v. in one of the store windows…
"Developing Story: Explosion at Townsville Dump" the reporter said
I ran around the corner making sure no one saw me….
Snake followed me, as I watched the story flash before my eyes.
"Breaking News, Rowdyruffs assault our news crew as we try to get answers about the chemical explosion we've been reporting happened at the Townsville Dump…Here's Maria Sanchez with more of that story…"
"Thanks, Tom. Or news crew was harassed by the Rowdyruff Boys, Brick, Boomer, and Butch Jojo, at Townsville Dump. Here's the video from just hours ago…"
It was of the smoking shack, and then it showed what looked like Buttercup and Butch covered in ash from head to toe
"Breaking News, huge chemical explosion at Townsville Dump, We're here with the Powerpuffs, and Rowdy ruffs, including Buttercup Utonium rumored girlfriend of the famous criminal, dump resident and gang leader, Ace Coupler, Miss Utonium a word please.." Maria asked
Butch pushed Buttercup behind him, and glared at the camera.
He put and hand over the lens and pushed it to the side… "Turn it off" He warned
Buttercup looked scared, I had never seen her like that before, she was looking at someone off to the side.
"Miss Utonium, how did you find out about this?" Maria asked again as the camera zoomed in on her.
She backed up, looking at all the faces around her
Brick stepped in between the camera and Butch and glared at the camera man…
"He said turn it off, this is not the time" He said pushing the camera like his brother had.
All of a sudden the audio cut off, and turned back on like something had been edited out…
And then the camera was pushed to the ground…
"Buttercup it's okay" I heard Bubbles say over all the yelling, and the camera caught her lime green streak before turning off
"I gotta go find her" I said turning around, but Snake stopped me
"Whatssss if ssshe don't recognize ussss, Bossss"
It took me a minute, but I understood what he meant.
"Ok, we stay quiet for a couple days till everything calms down, then we'll talk to her."
Butch's POV:
I hadn't heard from BC all weekend, until I got to school the next Monday.
It was a short week before Christmas Break, so I figured she wouldn't show up…but there she was.
She was sitting at the lunch area outside staring at the table.
Blossom and Bubbles were sitting with her, and flew over when they noticed me and my brothers.
Buttercup had dark black circles under her eyes, and her eyes didn't sparkle that they usually did.
She had on the jacket she had bought for Ace, and looked out of it.
"Hey, what's she doing here why didn't she just stay home this week?" I asked Blossom not taking my eyes off my heartbroken best friend.
"She was here before we even got up this morning" Bubbles said concerned holding Boomer's hand
"She hasn't said a word all weekend, she hasn't slept or eaten, But Dad doesn't know anything he locked himself in the lab working on some big project…" Blossom said looking at her sister sadly
"She's in shock" my red head brother stated as we all watched her.
"Butch maybe she'll talk to you, she listens to you" Bubbles said looking at me
I nodded and walked over to the table Buttercup was sitting at, and our siblings followed.
"Hey BC" I said sitting next to her, but she didn't budge her eyes were blood shot, from crying.
She was holding what looked like the charm on a necklace that she was wearing.
"What do ya say, we ditch this place, and got hang out?" I said smiling
Still nothing ….
Just then the bell rang for first period,
"I'll take her home" I said grabbing my bag, but before I could do anything else, Buttercup was already on her way to class.
I looked at her sisters concerned…
"I'll go let her teachers know what's going on" Blossom said flying to catch up with BC
"What am I gunna do, I'm her best friend I can't watch her hurt like that"
"There's nothing you can do, bro She's on Autopilot" Boomer told me as he started to walk to class with Bubbles.
"It's just her way of protecting herself" Brick reassured me "The best thing you can do is be there for her so, she has someone to talk to when she's ready"
